Welcome to By The Numbers. Here, we'll break down the most important facts, figures and statistics from that night's game. Despite the final score, there's more to the game's story than the numbers on the scoreboard.

Here's a look at some of the most notable statistics and numbers from the Blue Jackets' 2-1 overtime loss to the Los Angeles Kings at the STAPLES Center:

1 - Goal for Jack Johnson against the LA Kings since he was traded. He scored on the power play in the first period.

2 - Too many men on the ice penalties for the LA Kings in a span of about six minutes.

3 - Points earned in the standings for the Blue Jackets out of a possible four on the California road trip. The Blue Jackets will look to add two more points to that total tomorrow night against the San Jose Sharks.

6 - Points for Ryan Johansen in his last four games during his point streak. He has four goals and two assists.

12 - Points for Anze Kopitar in his last 15 games (four goals, eight assists). He assisted on the Kings' first goal of the night.

25 - Points for LA Kings forward Jeff Carter in his last 28 games played (13 goals, 12 assists). He assisted on the overtime goal.

31:01 - Minutes played by Blue Jackets defenseman Jack Johnson. He saw extra shifts after Ryan Murray temporarily left the game due to injury.

35 - Points this season for Blue Jackets defenseman James Wisniewski, which is now the second highest single season total by a defenseman in Jackets history.

80 - Ryan Johansen's faceoff win percentage tonight, as he won 12 of 15 in the circle tonight.
